"A Chinese traditional medicine team came to Nauru early this year, and I had a very big problem after lifting some weight in the gym, and I had a big problem with one of my ribs. It got so painful that I couldn't get up properly, but I managed to get to the hospital. The Chinese lady stuck a few pins in there," said Adeang.

"I walked out there just normal, and I was back to gym the same day. I don't know what she did, but it was close to a miracle, because I was taking painkillers that weren't working for me. I'm encouraging the ambassador to bring over a team that can be stationed permanently in Nauru for a longer term," he said

Adeang traveled to China to embark on a four-day root-tracing journey on July 6. Upon verification by relevant authorities, it has been confirmed that Adeang's great-grandfather's ancestral home is the ancient Chikan town of Jiangmen.
